Comics Alternative Kickstarter: The Middle Age

The Comics Alternative is weekly podcast focusing on the world of alternative, independent, and primarily non-superhero comics. (There's nothing wrong with superhero comics. We just want to do something different.) New podcast episodes become available every Wednesday and include reviews of graphic novels and current ongoing series, discussions of upcoming comics, examinations of collected editions, in-depth analyses of a variety of comics texts, and spotlights on various creators and publishers. The Comics Alternative also produces "special feature" programs, such as shows specifically dedicated to creator interviews, webcomics, on-location events, and special non-weekly themes and topics.

Sean and Derek discussed The Middle Age on
their webcomics series last
year. It's an old-school and fun kind of adventure comic,
a fantasy featuring a slightly older knight, Sir Quimp, who
lost his love, his sword, and his job. And he is on a quest to win
them all back, and "aiding" Sir Quimp on his quest is a talking
sword, Maledicta, which hates him. Steve's Kickstarter campaign is
centered on a limited edition enamel pin set based on the
characters in his webcomic, as well as print editions
of The Middle Age. It's part of
Kickstarter's Make/100 initiative.
